New York, New YOOOOOOOORK

As you may or may not know a bunch of students from KGIC Toronto went to New York for New Years Eve. It was a fantastic time and I am glad I joined them. I have a bunch of pictures I would love you to see. No video though, sorry for that. ENJOY!

ENJOY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! - Welcome to 2008!

Welcome back everyone and welcome to the new students!

I hope everyone had an amazing holiday. I sure did. I visited my parents in my hometown (Hanover, Ontario - about 3 hours from Toronto) and I went to New York with KGIC students to celebrate the New Year. It was overall a fantastic two weeks. I almost regret coming back to KGIC... almost.

Here is the calendar for January 2008. Please come talk to me if you have any questions. We have some great events including two ski/snowboard trips and AHL Hockey!

Prices are low so sign up soon.

Today's Announcements

Crazy! More Pictures!

HAHA... wow. Here are some more great pictures from the snowstorm. People are cross country skiing in downtown Toronto!

Toronto's Big Snowstorm...

What a crazy weekend. The snow started Saturday night and kept going all day Sunday. Here are the results. Sorry students! KGIC is still open! This is Canada, a little snow doesn't bother us. Good to see MOST of you this morning.

Check out the pictures (Thanks Maki!)

Remember, before this storm we had almost NO SNOW. All of this snow came down in about 24 hours. It was around 30 cm. Amazing eh?

Ski/Snowboard First Trip of the Winter

Wow, it was a great weekend. We started it with a ski/snowboard trip, just $50, the cheapest trip in Toronto. We had 2 buses and 90 students for our night at the hill. It was fun and we had NO INJURIES! Thanks so much to everyone who came, I am glad you had a safe and fun time. You can see some of the great pictures below as well as a short video of the fun we had.

**** WARNING ****
If you don't want to see Ryota's naked upper body please don't watch this video. The man is crazy and ignored the -20C temperatures to show off for the ladies.

December 11th - KGIC This Week

Here it is, in case you missed it. The new PMM class did a great job with this one (though it is a little long). It's my fault maybe because I had a lot to say... haha my apologies if you are sick of my face.



Don't forget your insurance card or information this Friday to join the ski/snowboard trip! I cannot let you get on the bus! Please make sure you don't forget!

KGIC This Week December 4th, 2007

Ok first let me apologize for the LARGE amount of ME in this video. I somehow taped over the PMM filming with the PMM grad video we showed last Friday. MY APOLOGIES PMM! Anyhow here are the announcements. We have some great activities and events coming.



Be sure to join early, don't be disappointed when I tell you it's sold out!

Yo, Here is the announcements if you missed them

ALSO:

The PMM class just put together this very nice graduation video. They played this after their speeches. It was very well done so I thought I would share it with you.



In other news December's Calendar is ready! Here it is. It's going to be a great month, sorry November was boring. Being sick at the beginning of the month made a mess of things. PROMISE I WILL BE MORE HEALTHY!


Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Hello Everybody!

Here are last week's announcements just in case you missed them. About 30 students are currently in New York. I am sure they are having an amazing time. ESL Teacher Tracy is there with them to make sure they stay out of trouble in the big city. I can't wait to hear their stories of the big apple. ENJOY!



December is coming soon. The new calendar should be available tomorrow. We have a lot of great events coming... like a Ski/Snowboard trip, New York and Montreal for New Year's Eve, Hockey, Basketball (BOSTON!), Aboriginal Dance Performance, and much more!

I will also have some suggestions available for students who will be staying in the city during the Christmas break, as well as some vacation ideas for students who have the time and money to enjoy something a little different.

GET READY FOR A GOOD WEEK KGIC!

This Week's Announcements

Check them out! We have some great events this week. The Raptors vs. Utah tonight, the CN Tower tomorrow and Steam Whistle Brewery on Friday. The Santa Claus Parade is also this week. Sunday I am inviting students to my apartment (which overlooks the route) to watch the parade in comfort instead of the cold. The sign up list is already full, and with 20 students my apartment will be full too!



The Santa Claus Parade route can be found below. If you are not one of the lucky 20 students who are coming to my place on Sunday you can head to anywhere on this route to see the parade. The Toronto Santa Claus Parade is now one of the largest (if not THE largest) one of its kind in the world.
